Hi Elaine. Are you a member of imminst? We are a growing community involved in life extension, health, nutrition... space exploration and all other science topics. We organize conferences, we have scientists there that are wokring on defeating aging. You probably heard of Aubrey De Grey right? You can easily find us on google, I hope you can stop by there sometime, you have some interesting thoughts and ideas :) And we share most of your views on longevity, space travel, religion etc etc...

I was a member at one point. I'm not sure now! Yes, I'm familiar with Aubrey De Grey. :)

I'll go online and make sure I'm a member. Are there any local meetups in Phoenix, Vegas, or Las Cruces NM?

Thinking of dropping vitamins A and E from my supplement regimen in the wake of the study done showing taking them leading to a statistically significant spike in premature deaths.

I don't want to get into a situation where I'm changing it every time a new study comes out, but the reality is that no one has definitive answers and we all need to take some guesses no matter how nutritionally aware one is.

Liked the first two longevity vids! Hoping you're going to do one on the cryogenic plan.

[miselaineeous]

Yeah! The next vid will be on WHY I want to live a long time, and I'll talk about my cryo plan with Alcor. I just haven't had any time!! The students are doing final exams and presentations this week and we ahve a zia show comin up with THREE new members.. so I've been too swamped for youtube.

I find it scary how many pills you take instead of eating "real" food. What's the point of having a "healthy" diet if you take away all the good stuff about eating : taste, texture...

If you're short on vitamins, why not having raw vegetables and fruit instead of taking all that NASA food ;)

Some people do that too here in France, even though we have markets with fresh&healthy food all over the place... go figure!?

[miselaineeous]

Did you see the last vid where i'm eating a salad of raw spinach and apples and cheese and a black bean burger patty??? I just cannot physically eat enough FISH and protein rich foods to possibly come close to what a nutritionists says I need before/after strenuous exercise. I'm just not that excited about eating and HATE cooking. If you enjoy cooking you are LUCKY.

dear miss elainious

thanks!

Nice surprise to know you was vegan. :-)

I don't eat animal corpses from '96 and I'm vegan from 2000. I try to eat in some periods of one-two months only fruit and raw vegetables, and it makes me feel better, with much energy.

I have recently discovered the Arnold Ehret's theory, about the disintoxication and reconstitution of body health with a "mucusless" diet (have you ever heard?). Now I get involved with it and feel quite good...

3 good deeds a day- what a great concept.

[DeadlineNews]

I want you.

Been thinking about your overwhelming desire to see the future. It's interesting, because if we could just put you on a ship and accelerate you close to the speed of light for a few minutes you could learn all you like about Earth 100, 200, 500, 5,000 years from now without having to worry about dying. No going back of course, but I think you'd make that trip.

Zia lives! Zia is like The Waterboys - the front-person is always the same but the cast of characters around them is ever-evolving.<3

On the nutritionist part... being French and being married to a Japanese women, I'm familiar with the food diets which lead to the highest life expectancy (alongside with health care programs of course) and it's all about variety and natural products ;)

[ioldarnech]

Anyways... for me, the whole idea of feeding on pills is like listening only to cheap dance music. It may serve its purpose but you know... in the end you miss so much fabulous experiences.

And yes I agree cooking isn't always the most interesting thing to do each day but it sure beats taking astronaut food!
